It's querying Config.pm as found in @INC. If you're running from an
uninstalled perl you have to remember to do things like ./perl -Ilib -V

I think that I had trying to make Config.pm less heavy in my TODO.

as a start, I was considering surveying which values in %Config are
popular, to try to partition those from the vast majority, which are
deadweight in nearly every program. As %Config is a tied hash, I believe
that it can all be done transparently.
